Corinthia Hotel • Whitehall, London

This 5-Michelin star grand Victorian hotel is the crown jewel in the Corinthia Hotel Group. It’s close to the heart of London, near the London Eye, the Embankment, Covent Garden,  Trafalgar and Soho, yet it’s away from Central London’s hustle-bustle.

The rooms are impeccably designed, with seven penthouse suites featuring dramatic rooftop views, one providing a 180° view of the city including the London Eye. The Northall Restaurant offers fine dining dishes by Executive Head Chef Andre Garrett, prepared with high-quality seasonal ingredients.

Kerridge’s Bar & Grill serves up British comfort food by Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge. Afternoon tea is offered in the Moon Lounge under a stunning Baccarat chandelier, set out on hand-painted bone china, with Laurent-Perrier Champagne served in sparkling Baccarat crystal. The Bassoon Bar delivers connoisseur cocktails with a bit of theater.

ESPA Life Spa at Corinthia London is one of the largest and most exclusive in the area, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing with spa, fitness and beauty treatments, alternative therapies of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncturists and herbalists.
